    Has this been posted? I came across this at costco today and scooped it up. I know I saw a thread about the chili stout awhile ago, but I don't think I've read anything about anyone actually trying it.

    Haven't seen that yet, looks interesting

    As if I needed another reason to go to Costco...

    Barrel-aged Bigfoot in a 12 oz. sounds awesome, and the Chocolate Chili Stout would be interesting! Actually since they are all new, they all are interesting. I'd buy this if I saw it somewhere in the vicinity of $15.

    Appears to say "Four 24 Ounce Bottles" down there at the bottom -- so this is not a 12-pack or even an 8-pack like I had initially guessed upon seeing that picture (though it may as well be an 8-pack considering each of those big bottles is equivalent to two regular bottles. XD)

    That's a really odd variety-pack format there.

    4- 24oz bottles, one barrel aged... I cannot imagine how much this will cost. $20-25? $30?

    Saw it and was just too pricey for me.

    Hmm, very interested. Four new brews I could try. I'll see if I can get to Costco sometime soon.

    Still need to find that dang Beercamp variety pack too.

    I was actually extremely disappointed to see this at the brewery in NC a few days ago. I went in with the hope of leaving with 4 bottles of this year's BA Bigfoot to go into my vertical. I love Sierra, and Bigfoot especially. That vertical is my pride and joy! Unfortunately, I spent $35 for one bottle of BA Bigfoot, and I'm stuck with 3 more bottles of beer I'm in no way interested in. While the other 3 were all available to purchase separately as singles, the Bigfoot would only be sold in the variety pack. This sucks for me!!! I thought it seemed way too much like all the BS I've read about stores forcing you to purchase more of a different product to gain the right to purchase more special releases. :slight_frown:

    Considering BA Bigfoot alone is $20 for a 22oz. in my area i doubt i'll be buying this. I'm genuinely afraid to hear how much this will cost.

    Can't wait to find this. I'll gladly spend $40 on this 4 pack before I'd ever spend $30 on the Beer Camp 12 pack. I'll get 3 of these if I see them just for the BA Bigfoot. Supposedly it's only coming to big box stores like Costco.

    Anyone who has had them: how does BA Bigfoot compare to Sucaba and Bourbon County BW? I'm new to barleywines.

    BA Bigfoot has a lot of barrel flavor to me, even after aging for a year. I actually prefer the non BA version. YMMV.
